It is extremely hard to find the right, well-educated, cultured Mandarin speaker

From a country of more than 1 billion? No way these uneducated masses will conquer the world

Most of them don't speak Beijing Mandarin. There's a slew of languages spoken in China, and Mandarin is the native language to only a small part of it.

Somewhat like if every state in America spoke a different language and official business was conducted in Marylandian.
